Genera#; orders for the annual cruise of the 
New York Y. C. have been issued. The fleet 
I-will this year go to Bar Harbor, and the

I possibly the schooners Queen and Elmina, will 
be fitted out specially for this cruise. 
I It was learned last week that Robert W. 
j Emmons, 2d, owner of Avenger, has decided to 
1 put that yacht in commission, and that he will 
! try again to capture the King's and Astor cups. 
The orders are as follows:

jpromptly one hour later from a line previously 
'established by the regatta committee, at which

Seawanhaka Corinthian Y. C. 
The Seawanhaka Corinthian Y. C. had two 
days’ racing on the Sound last week. The first, 
on Friday, was for special classes, and the 
yachts sailed in a light wind from the north- 
vvest at the start, and before the Class K boats 
finished, a severe thunder squall with strong 
wind broke and gave them a test that they are 
not likely to get again this season. 
The. committee, of which Victor I. Cumnock 
is chairman, were on board Commodore Frank 
J. Gould’s steam yacht Helenita. Helenita took 
a position at the starting line off the Black 
Buoy off Lloyds Neck, and then there was a 
wait of an hour for wind. As soon as it was 
strong enough, the committee started the race. 
The big classes went first to a mark off Green¬ 
wich Point, then to a mark off Long Neck 
Point and then home. It was a reach on the 
first leg, as the wind shifted to southwest soon 
after they had started. Then it was a broad 
reach to the Cows Buoy, and the spinnakers 
were carried and a beat home. 
The K boats were started at 12:40. Aurora 
crossed first to weather of Istalena, and with 
Winsome on her weather quarter. Istalena soon 
drew ahead and held that position all the way 
over the course. Aurora was second boat until 
the last leg, when Winsome passed her in the 
squall. The squall broke at 4 o’clock, just 
when the yachts were beginning the last leg 
of the course. They were on the starboard 
tack, and each had her club topsail set to 
weather of the halliards. It was an ugly blow, 
some of the puffs exceeding 45 miles, and many 
expected topsails to be taken out of the races, 
but they were nursed with skill by those in 
charge. The squall came out of the west, and 
had it not been so strong, would have allowed 
the yachts to reach home, but they held high 
of their course with their booms eased, so 
that they caught little of the strength of the 
wind. When near the line they bore off and 
eased their booms still further, so that they 
made the line with practically only their jibs 
drawing. It was a most exciting spectacle, and 
the boats went through the test without parting 
a rope yarn. 
Dorello and Naulahka the new Herreshoff 
31-rater, met in a special class, and Dorello 
won. She had to allow 9m. 32s., and this she 
did, winning by im. 45s. corrected time. The

For the annual regatta on Saturday there 
were sixty-eight entries, and a fine day’s sport 
was anticipated, but there was no wind. From 
early morning until 3 o’clock there was a flat 
calm, and it was intensely hot. This was dis¬ 
appointing, but nearly all the owners waited 
patiently, and at 3 o’clock, when a very light 
air from the west came, the committee sent the 
yachts away. They were just able to get over 
the line in the light breeze and sailed over the 
same courses as on the preceding day, but 
going only once around. This time Aurora 
made the best start in the big class, and she 
slowly sailed the 15*4 miles and finished first. 
Gardenia and Dorello made a good race, but 
after Gardenia had finished the wind came 
from the southwest, making it a beat home 
for all the others, and Dorello was beaten by 
28s. She had the race won until the shift iii 
the wind spoiled her chances. Dorello also 
sailed a race with Naulahka and won very 
easily in spite of the 9m. 32s. she had to allow. 
Naulahka so far has been a disappointment 
She is a powerful looking boat, but seems to 
need a strong wind to make her do her best. 
It is doubtful if she could beat Seneca, and tin 
old 30-footers have little difficulty in holdinu 
her. 
There was considerable interest taken in the 
races for the Manhasset Bay S class and thi 
Jewel S class. At Larchmont the Manhasset 
Bay boats won, making the better time. This 
race was sailed in a fresh wind. In the light 
air last Saturday the Jewel S boats made the 
fastest time. The summaries:
